The round includes \u00a3926,000 in private investment and a \u00a3630,000 Innovate UK grant under the <em>Clean Energy and Climate Technologies<\/em> program. Investors include Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Spectrum Impact, Tybourne Capital, Providence Investment Company, and SourceSquared.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s innovation\u2014a dispersible additive integrated into standard solar panels\u2014converts high-energy sunlight typically lost as heat into usable photons, enhancing overall energy conversion. Founded by Dr. Claudio Marinelli, the firm aims to overcome silicon\u2019s long-standing efficiency limits while offering a cost-effective, drop-in upgrade for global manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike competing perovskite or quantum dot solutions, the Cambridge approach is market-ready and production-compatible, making it a strong candidate for near-term commercialization. The company plans to expand its Cambridge R&amp;D operations, pursue pilot-scale trials with solar manufacturers, and prepare for a Series A round to launch its first commercial product by 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Image credits: Cambridge Photon Technology<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/techfundingnews.com\/cambridge-photon-technology-raises-1-56m-boost-solar-efficiency\/\">https:\/\/techfundingnews.com\/cambridge-photon-technology-raises-1-56m-boost-solar-efficiency\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cambridge Photon Technology, a spin-out from the University of Cambridge, has secured \u00a31.56 million in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43808,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[272],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43807"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43809,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43807\/revisions\/43809"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oreasoc.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
